__________________________________________________________

LOL.... becoz of high demands.... i'm reviewing Transformers the film. I forever will be a fan of the Transformers mainly becoz i grew up playing wif the transformers toys!! So fans definitely will remember the classic transformers.... So the film had to live up to it's name....

Storywise, the film does not follow its original Generation 1 plot but instead creating a new storyline for the franchise...

This very 1st poster was released during 2006.(aw the anticipationz! >___<)

Having said that.... The film cannot be simply made by amateurs film makers.... Hollywood Demi-Gods came to the plate to craft this movie! Director Michael Bay, producer Sir Steven Spielberg, not to mention the original voice actor for Optimus Peter Cullen is also included to bring Optimus memorable voice back alive...! 'I AM OPTIMUS PRIME BEYOOTCHS!' XD

OOoookayy.... now.... The film is rated PG-13... the reason for that is so dat younger audience can watch the movie.... is dat a gud choice? well... i guess they had to do it becoz kids luv it sooo much... n this explains alot abt some of the comical element in the movie although the bad side is: less violence... haha... a small problem... still understandable...

There is 3 ways to view this movie... 1st: The Military Man's view, 2nd: Citizen's View & 3rd: Transformers's View XD..... which 1 shud i start 1st ler o___O


1st: The Military Man's View
The film wanted to show a military side of the movie... wat i meant was making the soldiers as main characters... it wasn't necessary... maybe they wanted to add abit of a love story in there? still the romance part didn't work for me haha... i wanted more action.... basically the main characters in the military side are Capt. William Lennox(Josh Duhamel) & Sgt. Robert Epps(Tyrese Gibson)... Capt. Lennox is a married man on duty serving the army... his pregnant wives was always waiting for his return... Everything was fine, until an unknown helicopter arrives & lands...

Wtf?

It then suddenly transforms! Blackout appears - an attackz!!

Them bicthes got ownned~! Blackout is the biggest Transformer in the film. i think there's a reason to it... becoz he carries Scorponok inside of him.... anyways now we're focusing on the humans...

The military side displays some of their defense & offense strategy in the movie... which is a nice element into the movie... the movie shows some of military's modern vehicles & how they use them... You can c all of dat in the fight between the soldiers & Scorponok... one of the memorable moments in the film...

Scorponok jumps out from the sand dunes.

Capt. Lennox & Sgt. Epps will have minors roles later during climax & end...


2nd: The Citizen's View
hohoho.... The Citizen's View is the more important view, showing the beginnings of an adventure for a boy named, Sam Witwicky(Shia LaBeouf)... his supporting character is his HAWT girlfriend Mikaela Banes(Megan Fox).... Shia's performance in the movie is outstanding ler! haha.... i enjoy seeing his comical face in the movie.... although sumtimes i feel his face is a bit too 'baby-face' for the role.

Sam Witwicky is getting his very own car.

As for Megan Fox..... i dunno izit her or her role.... i feel dat she doesn't show dat much emotion... happy oso like dat, scared oso like dat.... LOL... but i didn't reli noticed her face... was too distracted by 'sumthing else'... >___<

I dunno which is hotter: Mikaela, Bumblebee, or me.... \/(o___o )\/

In the movie Shia's new car, a 1977 model Chevrolet Camaro happens to be a Transformer called Bumblebee... Bumblebee is a spy for the Autobots... & due to previous battles wif the decepticons, his voice box was brokened by Megatron, so he cant speak... Sam will soon discover the truth of it. Sam is important to the Transformers because he carries an item that shows the location of sumthing the Transformers r looking for.... so therefore the plot twists around him....

"Where is the spectacles?!" *Raawr*
Sam izint the bravest of the humans.... but in the cartoon he was damn brave! lol.... so its kind of a let down... i guess he is replaced to be the funny 1...

Basically the humans in this film have more airtime... cut cost? lol... i dunno... i guess becoz most of the action parts r taken over by the Transformers... so balanced!


3rd: The Transformer's View

Yoyoyooow.... the most exciting part is here... The Transformers view ookaay....! The Transformers r divided into 2 groups: The Autobots & The Decepticons. Now the Transformers are aliens... which r electronic.... LOL... they can take machine form, & change to others forms as well... Frenzy & Bumblee both change from 1 form to another... their original look are called protoforms.... get the fact straight yo... n dont u just luv it when they transform?

Ironhide in his protoform.

The Autobots consists of:

• Optimus Prime (Peterbilt 379 truck) The leader!
• Bumblebee (1976/2009 Chevrolet Camaro) The spy... *shhh...*
  
• Jazz (Modified Pontiac Solstice) Apparently Jazz is 2nd in command.
  
• Ironhide (Custom GMC Topkick C4500 pick-up truck) The weapon's specialist.
• Ratchet (Search & Rescue Hummer H2) The medic... lol! but useless de medic...

Autobots on the move~

The Decepticons consists of:

• Megatron (Cybertronian "jet") The leader!
• Starscream (F-22 Raptor) Starscream is 2nd in command.
• Barricade (Saleen S281 Mustang police car) The stalker/hunter. lol...
  
• Frenzy (GPX 2-speaker CD player, mobile phone) The spy... *shh...*
  
• Blackout (an MH-53 Pave Low helicopter), Scorponok (a mechanical scorpion)
• Bonecrusher (Buffalo H Mine-Protected vehicle)
• Brawl/Devastator (an M1 Abrams tank) apparently director Michael Bay didnt notice dat Devastator is actually Brawl.. so during filming, the stage name was Devastator... A big mistake if u ask me.... haihz... LOL
  

shh... Megatron is sleeping... -___-

I bet the classic Transformers fan discussed alot abt the old vs. the new look... I hated the new look at 1st! haha... but as time passes i thought the new look was better... like Bonecrusher & Starscream... i hate the new Megatron though.... O___O ugly.... Old Megatron rox...

Old Starscream(1987)
New Starscream(2007)

The Transformers looks awesome & lively... especially when they speak.. The cool part is they now hav a normal mode & battle mode... theres a few problems though... In my opinion the transformers shud hav a little bit more airtime... i feel dat there needs to be more conversation between Transformers... if u noticed when watching the film, they dont reli tok to each other so much... LOL... just a few sentences only... The longest conversation is between Optimus & Megatron lo... most of the conversation takesplace between human & transformer.

'Don't hate me because I'm ugly' :'(

One mentionable note is that some Transformers... only have few airtime... like Scorponok & Bonecrusher... after a little display... suddenly no more in for the rest of the movie haha... weird....

Bonecrusher appeared in the film for about 3 minutes only. too bad...

As the movie reaches to the end... there is a scene where the Transformers finally can kick each others ass! yes... this part is awesome!! although i must say... during dat part... sum of the fight scenes are very blurr.... i cant tell whose who at sum parts... they wanna save cost hur... lol...

Now comes to my final comments of the movie... I didn't reli liked the ending... wasn't wat i expected... haha... There's going to be a Transformer 2 coming... i hope to c more conversations between Transformers... & i wanna c Starscream betray Megatron like one Generation 1... yeah!
this a movie u shudn't miss... It's good.... but not f**king good.... haha... go watch it!

Here's the final verdict: -

Storyline: 7
Acting: 8
Effects: 10
Audio: 8
